Azharuddin has paid the highest price for being found guilty of match-fixing.

He was banned from cricket for life, by the Board of Cricket Control in India, in December.

The former Indian captain, who is the only player to have scored centuries in his first three Test matches, had been named in a Central Bureau of Investigation report into cricket corruption.

The report alleged that he fixed games with the help of Indian team-mates Ajay Jadeja and Nayan Mongia.

"Mohammad Azharuddin has fixed matches/performance for a bookie 'MK Gupta' alias 'MK' alias John and big-time punters Ajay Gupta and Associates, with the help of Ajay Jedeja and Nayan Mongia," the report said.

Jadeja has been suspended for five years by the BCCI but Mongia has been totally exonerated.
